Ankeny magician Jonathan May (second from left) is really excited that his trick of making a handkerchief go from a tube through a hoop and into a basket, might be working (or not)! Lending a hand to the trick from left to right are: Gary Steburg, Brenna Vik and Brette Prior. May put on a magic show on June 15, part of the Humboldt Library Summer Reading program.

Local businesses aid Dakota City with water

Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/23/2022 - 12:04am

Pictured from left to right: local Hy-Vee employees Roger Townsend, Jim Anderson, Tim Schipull, Connor Fiddler, Haylie Roberts and Kennedi Cran unloaded water and distributed it to local residents after Dakota City was hit with a boil order due to a chlorine pump failure at the water plant on Friday, June 17. The city was back in compliance by Tuesday and the boil order was lifted. See other photos from the effort in this week's Humboldt Independent and online at www.humboldtnews.com. Independent photo.

The city of Dakota City received a big assist from the local grocery stores when a boil order was issued last Friday morning, June 17. Fareway delivered eight pallets of water and Hy-Vee came through with a whole semi load, 18 pallets of water, a total of 36,288 bottles.
The relief effort was part of Hy-Vee’s Disaster Relief Recovery services.
“We called them at noon on Friday and they sent out a driver who was off duty up here with a semi to provide water,” Hy-Vee District Store Director Roger Townsend said.
“They go all over,” he said. Last December when devastating tornadoes hit Tennessee and Kentucky, Hy-Vee sent a team of 37 employees and a caravan of 19 vehicles with 327,000 bottles of water and more than 220,000 snack bars and breakfast items to help victims and volunteers.
